Thanks very much, but I don't use them and I don't want them. I think
that filtering to the front of a queue is rather dangerous. I'd rather
get in the space two or more vehicles back, where at least the driver
behind is looking at me, and I certainly don't want to find myself on
the inside of a long vehicle as it pulls away to turn left.

They are useful for car drivers to park in on top of a picture of a
flattened cycle. It allows them to get a bit of revenge without having to
crush a real cyclist like Clarkson wishes he could do.

No thanks. If the regulations are enforced it means I will have
to start entering ASL's from the gutter feeder lane rather
than the much safer primary position.

And here is how much effect that will have: 0.

I'm surprised the web site hasn't quietly gone away after the Road
Pricing petition.

Or : "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Enforce the
regulation pertaining to stop lines by cyclists"

Frequently I come to road junctions where motorists have stopped in
the ASL rendering it useless to cyclists or forcing them to move
forward of the ASL and commit a traffic offence themselves;


Obviously a RLJ himself - and not very bright.


Please officer - I was actually forced to jump the red-light.

"Primary position" the middle of a traffic lane. To take the "primary position" : to ride a bike in the middle of the lane in order to obstruct other road vehicles from overtaking.

I don't like them. They encourage inexperienced riders to filter past large
vehicles.

They're a waste of paint, better to get rid of them than enforce them.

I wish I thought they were doing it deliberately. Most are just on
auto-pilot

So what do you do when you lawfully approach an ASL on your bike and
find it has been encroached on by a motor vehicle?
